This time of year is always a struggle for me. I am a true fair weather fan and I’m always so sad to see summer end.
Everyone is talking about how nice it is to have Fall arrive and I’m over here pouting and hanging on to this incredibly nice weather that we’ve been experiencing with all my might.
No, please Summer, don’t go! I don’t like Fall.
That’s not really true. I like it okay. It just doesn’t last very long. The next thing you know, we’re shoveling that dreaded white stuff {shudder}.
In order to make the arrival of Fall a little more bearable (at least for me), I found that decorating for the season helps the transition. It just feels good to be surrounded by pretty things ; ) Like this easy to make Fall wreath.
I see this wreath when I walk in the front door and it’s a pretty reminder. A pretty reminder of not just that Fall is upon us. But also because I added the “E”.
You see, I’m about to get married!
Yep. Married! And my last name will change. So “E” will be my new last initial.
I’ve seen wreaths on Pinterest with initials on them and always wanted to make one and this was my chance.
Another great things about this wreath is that it only cost $5 to make. That’s right. Five bucks! I got everything except for the initial at the Dollar Tree. Seriously. The Dollar Tree.
I don’t know if it’s just me or what, but do you think that the quality of the flowers at Dollar Tree has improved? I think so!
Here’s my little tip for working with these flowers: spread the stems apart and push the leaves up on each stem so it’s closer to the flower.
Four of the flowers had clips on the back. They came 2 to a package for $1!
The clip on the back make it really easy to attach them to the burlap-wrapped wreath form.
I painted the “E” with leftover paint from my chest of drawers makeover. I love that paint!

So pretty! A bright and cheerful start to fall!
I am sooooo going to do this! I never thought to check dollar store for fake flowers. I always just go to Michaels, and that can get pretty pricey! Thanks for the inspiration!
Love your wreath! I LOVE how you clip on the flowers! SO smart for future use!And, you gotta love the price.
Thanks for sharing. I am inspired.
God makes people who don’t like fall?? Haha. Love the clip idea so that you can change up the look from year to year.
Very cute…love the idea of clipping on the flowers….great wreath along with a great price. I do at times use dollar tree flowers and they have improved, but most of the time I use them as fillers to keep the cost down!
Those clip on flowers are great! What a time saver! <3
Cute wreath! You’ve inspired me to make one!
Love how simple this is! So pretty too!
Well, congratulations!! What a good reason to make an initial wreath! And though you hate to see summer end, it sounds like the calendar is turning toward a good time for you.
Your wreath is lovely, and the way you made it is so clever! Good job!
So cheerful…love it!
What a lovely wreath and I am so loving the idea of the clips on the flowers. I don’t like to hot gun everything down to my wreath. I am going to try this one for sure. Thanks for sharing.
I adore your wreath — I especially like your monogram and burlap!
I love your thrifty wreath! What a great look for only $5! And congratulations on your upcoming marriage! Sound like this fall will be special for you indeed!
I love how quick and easy your pretty wreath is!! The clip on flower accents are genius! Pinning!
How can I attach the burlap ribbon and the flowers if there’s no clip, oh snd letter? Thanks
